It is commissioned by the Festival d'Ouessant and is dedicated to the guitarist Caroline Delume. The first prelude has a melodic character and opens the cycle in a soft and luminous atmosphere." (from the sheet) There are some difficult stretches. The sheet doesn't give any fingering - suggestions for improving the fingering in the tab are welcome. measure 5 - the F on the 2nd beat could be played on the 2nd string 6th fret measure 11 - the 7th note (A) could also be played on the 2nd string 10th fret === - notes held, length of note, duration > - accented, marked, stressed < < < - crescendo - becoming gradually louder > > > - decrescendo - becoming gradually softer arp. - arpeggiate - ripple upwards from the lowest note to the highest note bpm - beats per minute f - forte - loud ff - fortissimo - very loud F. - Fermata - note(s) held, (long) pause Lent - slow mf - mezzoforte - moderately loud mp - mezzopiano - moderately soft p - (below the tab) piano - soft Plus - more (Plus lent - slower) rall. - rallentando - slowing down (often becoming gradually softer) t - (above the tab) tenuto - played firmly, slightly accented - note held for at least its full length, or a little longer tempo - speed (A tempo - return to the earlier tempo) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the latest version of this tab can be found at http://www.classtab.org
